Alex Cox: Don't Call Him 'Maverick'

One of the great British film iconoclasts, Alex Cox has spent his entire working life on the edge of what can realistically be described as 'the mainstream'. After he ditched early plans for a career in law he attended filmmaking and writing courses at Bristol University and UCLA and segued into directing via a short film made with friends. His first feature, Repo Man, was made at the height of the Reagan era and posed serious questions about the political direction of the United States. Featuring car repossesors, time travel and aliens, it became an immediate cult classic and propelled Cox's career into orbit.

An erudite filmmaker, freethinker and true visionary, Alex Cox continues to rail against compromise in the search for individuality. We are delighted to welcome him to BFF2003.
